Diy: Dc5 Type S Hid Installation

**SAWAKITA** · 03-10-2005 01:17 AM

I've follow the guide post by ECU-MAN and did the same to my 05 DC5 Type S.
Most of guide here taken from ECU-MAN + slight change and extras.

Disclaimer: The following is provided as a GUIDE ONLY, and neither myself nor Ozhonda take any responsibility for the outcomes of someone else doing the following. You follow these steps at your own risk!

Tools:

X-Clip can be purchase from HONDA dealership. Part No. 33116-S6M-003
Cost me $19.95 each.
You'll need to modify this to fit the HID tight in the housing. See Picture

Step 1:
Remove the bumper bar, the red arrows piont to screws that need to be removed, the blue arrows point to clips that need to be removed. To remove these clips lift the center part then pop out the clip.

Then just pull out the bumper.

Step 2:
Remove head lamp assembly, remove 4 nuts using 10mm socket, see PINK circle below, disconnect all lamps.

I couldn't reach the nut circled in green, but if you can, remove it instead of the Pink circle one.

Step 3:
Mount the HID ballast, undo the bolt from the gaurd, mount the ballast.
This is where I mount the ballast due to the size of it.

If you have a smaller ballast, you can just mount it right under the head lamp assembly. Use 3M Scotch Exterior Mounting Tape (SUPER STRONG HOLD) won't need any screw, once you stick on very hard to take off.

Step 4:
Install the HID globe.
As you can see I'm not using the X-Clip anymore. I spent 1 hour trying to make it look like the picture shown on the top, but its too hard for me with out right tools. I found a clip thing look like the X-Clip in my previous HID kit box and it fit just right, nice and tight. So if any of you want to buy my X-Clips for $20, drop me a PM.
Make sure it sealed nicely, so the water won't go in.

Step 5:
Do the same for the other side then make sure everything is working before put things back together.
Then install your head lamps and bumper in the revers order you removed them.

End

Now here is some picture I took tonight with 2 of my best friends. Compare different brand HIDs.
STI using 88 House 6000K (Made in Japan)
My TYPE S using Techone 6000K (Made in China)
SUPRA TURBO using McCulloh 10,000K (Made in USA)
